Internacional vs Juventude Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 14th August 2024

Much more than mere points are at stake when Internacional clash in a derby with their rivals Juventude this coming Thursday at Beira-Rio Stadium.

Looking at the Serie A standings, the current difference between the sides is three points and three places.

Internacional need a good result here against Juventude, if they wish to climb the Serie A table. The guests have proven, they can be a dangerous opponent, but the former should be able to hold their on at the Beira-Rio Stadium.

Internacional are relatively average in the art of goal-scoring these days. They scored a steady ten goals in their previous ten matches, for an average of one per game. They simultaneously allowed their opponents 11 goals, or an average of 1.1 a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to two clean sheets in this run.

Juventude scored 12 goals, conceded 13 and managed two clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

Their latest encounter was a belter of a game, which finished with a 4-0 scoreline. An uncommon result, but we would not mind a similar goal fest this coming Thursday.

Internacional vs Juventude Prediction

Internacional Form

Having collected three draws in their previous three matches, Internacional are on the lookout for a win again. Against Bahia it finished 1-1, before a draw with Palmeiras in a 1-1 match. In their latest match, they once again had to settle for a tie after drawing 2-2 against Athletico Paranaense. Internacional claimed just a single measly home win from a possible six in the Serie A, which also saw them drawing three and losing two matches, in which they scored six and conceded seven goals.

Dreaming of the Serie A title, Internacional are currently too far behind budget, so to speak, to seriously stake a claim at first place.

Juventude Form

In their last three matches, Juventude drew 1-1 with Corinthians, 2-2 with Fluminense and beat Botafogo RJ by 3-2. Juventude are winless in their last six away games in the Serie A, in which they drew one and lost five. They conceded 12 goals while scoring four themselves.

Juventude had their sights set on the Serie A title, but current form sees them way off track. A quick upturn is needed.

Juventude could find it tough to break down the defensive barriers put up by Internacional at Beira-Rio Stadium on Thursday. The home side doesn't score much themselves, though, and we aim for the under 2.5 goals betting market.

Internacional claimed five wins, seven draws as well as five defeats in the Serie A this season. Juventude have a record of six wins, seven draws and seven defeats in the Serie A.
